With so many fighters waiting to take their guarantee title fights and backing up the division i glad pettis took that fight with clay. Some people thought pettis won that fight being more aggressive on his back in that fight.

Pettis didn't land enough to earn a decision in my opinion but Guida hardly proved he was the superior fighter.

Similar fight to Phil Davis/Lil Nog.

In these fights the loser in many ways looked far more impressive than the winner.

Yea i just remember Bas on inside MMA saying he thought Pettis won by going for submissions and being more aggressive. But he did lose but he did take a fight when he could've waited

Edgar getting a totally undeserved rematch really screwed Pettis over (even though Edgar arguably won said rematch, I didn't think the first fight was rematch worthy at all, thought Bendo clearly won and most feel the same).

I favor Bendo over Pettis this time, though I think Pettis is stylistically his toughest challenge at 155 other than Frankie and perhaps Maynard.

Hopefully Pettis beats Cerrone, because I don't know how you give Cowboy a third shot, especially when Bendo completely dismantled him in minutes last time and Bendo has only improved since then. But if Cerrone wins, who else could get the shot...? Gil I guess maybe, he's the only guy I can think of.

HolyAvengerP5 - this is the same guy that lost to clay guida IN the ufc?

So did Nate. And Maynard came damn close to losing to Guida as well.

Also I don't really think either Clay or Pettis deserved a win in that fight. It was a draw in all honestly, and a not a good performance by either guy.

If ever there was a fight where the guy on bottom position was winning the fight it was that fight imo.. pettis put on a guard clinic.. i really thought i might see a guy finally win a fight off his back but no, lay n pray prevails

I think cowboy will beat pettis. After that how do you not give him a shot? Those fights with Ben were a long time ago. They have both improved and I think it would look a lot more like their first fight than their second.
